A very respected blogger in the recruting industry, Joel Cheesman, recently posted an inteview about his life and career on YouTube. It is worth watching if you are looking for a career or thinking about what you want to do with your life. This very popular blogger has a great story.
If you ever feel lke your career is in the dumps or an interview went the wrong way I recommend you take heart and have a laugh by watching this series of clips from Seinfeld about George’s horrible experiences at work and trying to find a job.
What do you think of this? Would you hire someone who willing put this video resume together? Does a video like this make him more or less attractive to an IT department? (He is trying to land an IT job in Seattle Washington.)
There were a couple of articles on USAToday.com that I thought I would share with you on MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube.
I found it interesting that a recent research study says that half of users on MySpace are over 35 and only 30% are under 25.
Myspace had 56 million unique visitors in August
Facebook 15 million
Friendster one millon
The other articles is on YouTube. According to the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and other leading publications, YouTube has been recieving offers galora this past couple of weeks. Most recently Google has apparently offered 1.6 Billion for the video site. Do you use YouTube? Do you even know what it is? If you are at all interested in the new media I am sure you have an understanding of how amazing this service is. If not, you will soon. If Google doesn’t buy them Yahoo or Microsoft will. They all have video services that need YouTube.
Check out this great blog post from the tech writer at USAToday on the speculation around You Tube.
